-
1.5 tablespoon Coconut Oil

Directions
This easy to make homemade chocolate will replace any high-quality bitter chocolate you can buy at the store. Use only the highest quality of ingredients and no sugar to make this addictive chocolate. We tested it with many sweeteners my personal favorites are monk fruit (for the low carb version) and with a bit more carbs I used high-quality organic maple syrup.
Although it’s very easy to make this recipe, it might take some trial and error to find the perfect blend of ingredients to create the perfect chocolate that you will love. My favorite additions to the chocolate are vanilla and brandy but you can blend in almost anything that makes sense, for example, mint flavor, Sea salt, cacao nibs, maca etc’.
Start with trials on the basic chocolate until you get the perfect blend you like and then start adding flavors to your liking.

MELT CACAO BUTTER & COCONUT OILTo melt the cacao butter and coconut oil into one smooth layer I'm using a sort of double boiler. Mix cold water and boiled water in a large pan. The water should be hot to a point where you can still put your finger inside the water and not get burn. On top of the pan add a mixing pot and add the cacao butter and coconut oil. Be patient here because it takes a little time to melt everything (we don't want to boil the ingredients) |
